How do you say Terror Instinct?

  1. I'm just sort of curious, after a brief discussion on IRC. How do you say it?

    Tee-Eye! just sounds so much more authoritative and recognizable.

    My reasoning is if you're going to pronounce it Tee Eye, why even write a lowercase "i"? I would pronounce TI as Tee Eye, but Ti as Tee.
     
  4. I think that's because the Japanese don't know uppercase i exists. Almost like they avoid it because of its L-like appearance. See also: TiT

    That is, unless you're trying to port TGM3 to a graphing calculator [​IMG]

    There's no TGM game in the first 17 results of Google: Ti Tetris.
     
  6. I've been pronounce it the same way you would a Tie. Like Tuh-eye. That isn't even a choice. Man I was off.

    As I would pronounce "T" and "i" in french ^^.
     
  8. This actually makes more sense to me than tee. Just like the number pi. But the lower case i is truly a Japanese quirk. They often spell tetris TETRiS.
     
  9. I always pronounced it Tee-eye, but always wondered why the i wasn't upper-case...

    For that matter, so does Roger Dean.

  18. Ti = Tee Eye

    Yeah, that's all I'm doing.
